On your computer, you are just as likely to need to select one or more items as you are to have them open. If you want to move a file from your desktop to a folder, you single click it then drag it. If you want to select 5 items, you hold the control button and single click all 5 items.
In a web browser, you usually are not going to interact with any element other than a hyperlink, and the hyperlink has a specific function of opening another page when clicked. You can’t grab a hyperlink and move it to a different area on the page. You can’t control+click to grab 5 hyperlinks at the same time.
